A great host to work with, Took the overnight train from Chiang Mai, Mon had sent me a note to call when we got in, (6:15) in the morning. I waited till 8 and she met us at the house to let us in. Told us about the area and was just a nice host to be around. You will not go wrong renting her place. You should have a way of getting around though, there is a 7-11 right down the street of the guard house. And some great local food places too.
